2008 server r2 question

I am currently studying for the MS exam 70-646 on windows 2008 r2. As such, I do not expect you to provide me with full solutions, but guidance only. One of the questions is discussing the installation of a 2008 R2 Server. This will be a member server, 8 CPUs, 32GB of RAM, three stand-alone DFS shares. The question says they will use Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise and make use of the Server Core version, and wants to know if this configuration will work.

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

8 CPUs is the limit for Enterprise edition.
32 GB RAM is okay, though the limit for the Standard edition.
Server core doesn't pose any limits in terms of functionality, more so less on the GUI front which is limited. All administration has to be done via another machine using MMC.

Best of luck on your exam :)

This server will be an application server that only activate the services it is set to answer calls when in fact be calling, has 8 CPUs and 32 GB of RAM, and is planned that will offer three stand-alone DFS share. Windows 2008 Enterprise Core is proposed. Do you think the solution as it is proposed will work or not? Why?
